Zero Motorcycles Mobile App

iPHONE AND ANDROID APP USER GUIDE

Welcome to the Zero Motorcycles iPhone / Android App.

All Zero Motorcycles model year 2013 and later are equipped with Bluetooth capability. This allows you to connect your motorcycle with a mobile device. Now you’ll be able to customize your ride and see real-time performance statistics straight from your motorcycle.

Pairing Your Motorcycle

Please follow the pairing instructions, which can be found in the Support view.

Select Online Support. This will open an Internet browser linking to the Zero Motorcycles support web page. See Bluetooth Connectivity.

Follow the guide to pair your phone.

Functionality:The App has two primary modes

Statistics Mode – this allows you to view and interact with all motorcycle statistics and parameters: total miles, total kW used, battery and performance numbers. In Statistics Mode, you will see 5 icons at the bottom of the screen:

Riding Mode – displays riding statistics: live state of charge, torque, distance and time until empty, etc. When the motorcycle is on and ready to ride, the app will automatically change to the Riding Screen. You will not be able to make changes to the motorcycle settings while in Riding Mode.

Home

Your Zero Motorcycle model will be displayed at the top of the screen. The picture cannot be edited.

Below the picture is a scrolling banner, where you will find headlines for Zero-related news. If a headline interests you, click the banner and your default Internet browser will open the corresponding article.

State of Charge

Here you will find ‘Live’ status of your battery. If your Zero motorcycle is plugged in it will provide live updates as the percentage increases. When riding, your Zero motorcycle will show live reductions in range.

*This is only an estimate and may vary from the dashboard.

Time to Full Charge

When plugged in, this provides the estimated time remaining until your Zero motorcycle is fully charged. For example, 1 hour and 15 minutes will be displayed as: “1:15.” The time will count backwards to 0:00 until fully charged. When your Zero is not charging this will read “N/A.”

*This is only an estimate and may vary from the dashboard.

Total Miles

The total miles ridden on your Zero. This estimate may not agree with the odometer on the dashboard.

Total kWatt Hours Used

The total amount of energy used on the batteries installed in your Zero motorcycle.

Average Watt Hours Per Mile

The average amount of energy used on your Zero motorcycle based on total miles and kWatt Hours used.
